HP dy2018ca and similar thread

[ryan]

I own a hp dy2018ca. And it is great for content consumption and light audio creation and editing. I am able to get 4 hours of heavy usage which I've never been able to get until owning this laptop. But the screen is an awful 1366x 768 with washed out colors. I upgraded my ram to 16gb and ssd to 1tb. Next will be a oled display upgrade and Backlit keyboard swap.

 

Does anyone know what oled display will work and if the laptop is gen 4 or gen 3. I can't seem to find the nitty gritty on specs. Thanks a bunch

[ryan]

for what its worth, the pcie slot is gen 3 if anyone needs to know.

Post what HWINFO says about your current panel and we can work from there.

God I hate how vague sometimes panels have in HWINFO. Usually there'd be a model number, but CMN1525 yielded nothing. Considering it's a 768p, it's likely a 30pin, and 40pin is needed for higher than 1080p and higher refresh rates. I don't know if there are any 40pins cable for your model, but I have a feeling there aren't any viable alternatives to what you want in your HP 15.

 

Okay, there are OLEDs that use 30pin but only two.

They're not 1440p and above, but it's more feasible than searching high and low for a cable that probably doesn't exist for this model.

woah thanks alot. To my suprise I can get one for 100 cad. I was wondering if this is the right display  and OLED. it seems like too good of a deal, if its 100 im buying it next week and I was wondering is it hard to replace screens perhaps ill watch a youtube video on it. I did it a long time ago but i was smart back then lol kinda on the simple side now.

I've bought from them before, albeit when I bought an LCD for my 7540, I wasn't given the one they list but a close equivalent replacement. Finding a genuine one is the tough part...

[ryan]

after seeing how cheap all of this is heres my omen 16s hwinfo

 

ill try to find one but im not good at finding screens

 

and thanks again, really helpful. ok I just checked and I cant find an oled at 16in or a mini led but surely one has to exist

 

if not do you know how to find the best possible display for my omen 16>?

Panelook isn't giving me a big choice, and the monitor name of the one you have right now gives me the panel N161HCA-GA1. The one standing out of all was the NE161QHM-NY1, which AliExpress seems to have and someone bought one and fitted it in their Omen 16.

i decided not to get the display as its costs 400 and i paid 300 for the laptop.
